3M ESPE has launched RelyX Unicem 2 automix self-adhesive resin cement, designed to provide improved color stability, bond strength, and moisture tolerance, the company announced.
RelyX Unicem 2 automix cement is suited for the permanent cementation of all-ceramic, composite, or metal inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges, as well as posts and screws, 3M ESPE said. It can also be used to cement restorations to implant abutments and Maryland, inlay, and onlay bridges.
The cement will be available in an automix syringe with various application tips. The syringe extrudes the ready-mixed cement through mixing tips, which are available in different sizes: regular mixing tips for standard applications, endo tips for working in the root canal, and special intraoral tips for the cementation of inlays and onlays.
As with the first-generation cement, the need for any pretreatment of the tooth, such as etching, priming, and bonding, is eliminated, the company said.
